thankyou

i cant get my blog to allow me to comment on it, but i have been so blessed by the comments i have received i just want to say thank you.  i read every comment and am so very blessed by them.  i also want to say the tiny birds that have claimed my yard are house finches, they have had several little families this summer and all the babies come to my yard, they learn to sing, they bath in a bowl on my table, they fly all crooked and proud, and their mama and their papa feed them on my garden arch.  i also have sparrows aplenty, i know some people don't like them as they are bossy and messy, but my kids are bossy and messy to, so that doesn't bother me a bit.  i love the sparrows and they seem to like me too, they will nap in a fuzzy pile on my bench.  and i cant help but remember every time i see a little bossy grey sparrow throwing my seed all over, that not a single one falls from the sky the our Father doesn't know.  truly i am so blessed this summer, even with hail and wind and slug (still just the one) now aphids and grasshoppers, my garden blesses me, and my kids, and my birds.
so once again, thankyou for reading, and thankyou for commenting even tho i can't comment, i am blessed.

mommys garden makeover

well i remade the garden...

my wonderful husband who also happens to be a most excellent daddy made a tiny faerie arch that very closely mirrored the big one gracing my garden

and Lowe's supplied all kinds on mint and lemon balm and oregano at 70 cents a pot

my trips to the tilly and my sense of whimsy added all kinds of faerie furnishings

and imagination did the rest

when she heard about the lettuce she cried

when she walked out to the garden

she bent quietly down and looked thru the arch

and

sitting in front of the faeries garden,

bent low and completely silent i wondered if i had done enough

then she says in aww

"oh mommy i wish i could shrink down and go inside,

 i could walk the path and maybe go visit  frogs house."

and i understood

i had done enough

i had healed the broken

this time anyway

and i thanked the One who heals the broken every time

what i never told you before

is that while in the middle of pulling the flattened lettuce out

i found a slug

only one

but had it not hailed...

well nature would have done a whole other makeover.
